For Fu Hanjiang, this was indeed great news!
After consulting with Qi Si, Fu Hanjiang gave him instructions.
"Prepare a room at Shizi Bay in advance."
"Yes, Young Master."
...
Back at Yintan.
Fu Hanjiang placed Sheng Xiangsi on the bed. "Rest for a while. I've arranged for a servant and a caregiver; they'll be here soon."
"Okay."
Sheng Xiangsi nodded.
He had delayed his work for half a day because of her, and he needed to go to the office.
"You go ahead."
Additionally, at this moment, she wasn't sure how to face him.
"Okay."
Fu Hanjiang didn't argue, "I'll leave when the servant and caregiver arrive."
"This…" Sheng Xiangsi frowned, pointing at his forehead, "Why didn't you treat this?"
"Huh? Oh."
Only after she reminded him did Fu Hanjiang realize it. He didn't care, "It's just a small wound, no need to treat it."
He casually grabbed a tissue and wiped the blood.
Sheng Xiangsi frowned at the wound, "At least disinfect it and put a band-aid on."
"But I can't see it." Fu Hanjiang looked at her expectantly, "Could you help me?"
Fine.
Sheng Xiangsi nodded, agreeing.
He had saved her again today. If he hadn't chased after her, Qi Yunjia might have succeeded in her scheme.
With her permission, Fu Hanjiang happily fetched the first aid kit.
His forehead wasn't seriously injured. She simply used an iodine swab to clean the wound and then applied a band-aid.
"All done."
It didn't take long.
Fu Hanjiang raised his hand to touch it, praising, "Nicely done."
Sheng Xiangsi: ...
Seriously?
Sometimes she felt Fu Er Ye was heartless to the point of cruelty! Other times, he seemed as innocent as a child…
What kind of person was he really?
Soon, the caregiver and servant arrived.
Reluctantly, Fu Hanjiang let go of her, reminding her, "I'm leaving now. Get some rest, and ask them if you need anything. I might be late tonight. If it's too late, don't wait for me, just go to bed."
"Okay, I understand."
Sheng Xiangsi nodded, watching him leave, her eyes turning dark and confused.
...
Because of her shoulder injury, Fu Hanjiang didn't agree to let Sheng Xiangsi go to the dance troupe.
Sheng Xiangsi explained, "The troupe is on a break, and I'm just overseeing the children's class, so there's not much to do."
Fu Hanjiang was still hesitant, "Can you promise not to dance?"
"I promise."
"Alright then."
Fu Hanjiang finally relented, personally driving her to the dance troupe's entrance. "Remember what you said, no dancing. I'll pick you up tonight. If anything happens, you won't be allowed to go anywhere tomorrow."
Even though Sheng Xiangsi tried to accommodate him, she was getting a bit fed up.
"Can you stop nagging? My ears are going to grow calluses!"
"Alright, I won't say anymore."
Seeing her unhappy, Fu Hanjiang quickly shut his mouth and kissed her cheek, "I'm just worried about you, no need to get upset…"
"Fu Hanjiang! Enough already?" Sheng Xiangsi raised her fist.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop." Fu Hanjiang made a zipper motion over his mouth.
Sheng Xiangsi turned and jogged into the dance troupe building.
"Slow down! Is your stomach still hurting? It's only the second day… I'll pick you up tonight, don't leave on your own!"
The more she listened, the more annoyed she got. Sheng Xiangsi quickened her pace. How did she not know before that Fu Er Ye could be this naggy?
The dance troupe was very lively today.
Sheng Xiangsi didn't need to supervise the children's class in the morning, so she was stretching in the practice room.
"Xiangsi!"
Bai Ran came over with a smile, and she wasn't alone. She had brought someone unfamiliar with her.
"Look who's here!"
"Ellie?!"
"Sheng!"
The girl named Ellie ran over with a smile, hugging Sheng Xiangsi and giving her a cheek kiss.
Sheng Xiangsi and Ellie were considered friends forged through life and death.
Who was Ellie?
She was the girl from the RDE dance troupe in Philadelphia who, along with Sheng Xiangsi, had been strapped to a bomb. In the end, she had carried the unconscious Sheng Xiangsi and escaped death together!
"It's so good to see you!"
"You too."
Sheng Xiangsi looked Ellie over, curious, "What brings you to Jiangcheng? Did you come with the dance troupe?"
"Yes."
Ellie nodded with a smile, "After what happened, the troupe couldn't perform locally anymore."
The central hall of the RED dance troupe had been bombed, and rebuilding would take time, not something that could be done overnight.
"The director arranged a tour, so we're performing in various places. We had a layover in Jiangcheng, and I thought I'd come see you."
Ellie pointed to herself and then to Sheng Xiangsi. "Aren't we, as you say in Jiangcheng, 'life and death friends'?"
"Friends for life and death!"
"Haha! Yes, friends for life and death!"
With a friend visiting from afar, Sheng Xiangsi naturally wanted to be a good host.
But Ellie had a flight to catch that night, so they could only meet up for lunch, with Bai Ran accompanying them.
Because of Sheng Xiangsi's shoulder injury, they didn't go far. They chose a nearby restaurant to let Ellie taste authentic Jiangcheng cuisine.
By noon, the restaurant was bustling.
Bai Ran, being more mobile, grabbed a window seat, "Xiangsi! Ellie, over here!"
"Coming!"
The three of them discussed what to order.
Sheng Xiangsi was still concerned, "Ellie, I don't know if you'll like the food here. If you don't, I can get you a burger."
But when the food arrived, Ellie was eating with such gusto that her face was almost buried in her bowl.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!"
Sheng Xiangsi and Bai Ran exchanged smiles, "Then eat more."
"Okay."
Ellie was straightforward and didn't hold back, chatting and laughing with them.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ellie pointed at the TV in the restaurant, "It's him!"
"Who?"
Curious, Sheng Xiangsi looked up. The TV was playing a financial news segment, and today's featured financier was... Fu Hanjiang.
"Oh!"
Ellie clapped her hands. "Is he famous in Jiangcheng?"
"Kind of." Sheng Xiangsi nodded, puzzled. "Ellie, do you know him?"
Bai Ran was also curious, "Yes, Ellie, you look like you know him?"
"Not really."
Ellie waved her hand with a smile, then suddenly looked at Sheng Xiangsi, "Oh right, didn't you ask me before who saved you?"
Indeed, Sheng Xiangsi had asked Ellie about her rescuer.
But to Ellie, an Asian face was hard to describe. She only knew it was a young, very handsome man.
"Look."
Ellie pointed at Fu Hanjiang on the TV, "Isn't it him? Sheng, what's his name…"
Her Chinese was not fluent.
"Fu, Han, Jiang… he is your savior!"
